From 'Sherlock' to 'Star Trek' for Cumberbatch

The British actor was nominated for a Golden Globe for "Sherlock" and unveiled the first nine minutes of the new "Star Trek" movie at a special presentation Friday in London.

Cumberbatch's character John Harrison was introduced in the much-anticipated sci-fi sequel, "Star Trek Into Darkness."

Cumberbatch was not allowed to reveal much about the plot, but the 36-year-old did admit that he auditioned for the role of Harrison — who he describes as "a phenomenal one-man weapon of mass destruction" — on an iPhone in his friend's kitchen.

Fans wanting to see the footage can catch it in front of selected IMAX 3D screenings worldwide of "The Hobbit," beginning Friday.
